Addresses high-intensity behavior challenges

Private sessions tailored to specific triggers

Pathway back into group work when appropriate

The Behavior Modification Program is built for owners dealing with intense behavior problems that make normal life stressful, embarrassing, or unsafe.

It is a private training path for issues such as doorbell chaos, separation anxiety, anxiety in new situations, growling, aggression, leash lunging, snapping, resource guarding, and conflict with children, cats, or other pets.

The program uses private sessions to focus directly on the owner's specific problems before any group work is considered.

The source page makes this path intentionally direct: if the owner only needs one behavior stopped, the three private sessions can focus exclusively on that issue.

Lynne's reactive Springer Spaniel improved enough on walks to receive compliments from workers nearby, after previously barking and lunging at people, dogs, cars, and trucks.

Nikki's surrendered young Shepherd had severe leash reactivity in a dense neighborhood, but structured handling helped him become manageable and enjoyable in public.

Program questions

What to know before you start.

What if I only care about one behavior problem?

That is exactly what the private format is for. The sessions can focus directly on the issue creating the most stress.

Can my dog move into group classes later?

Yes. The private sessions can help a reactive dog become calm enough to join group work when appropriate.

Will three private sessions be enough if my dog has more than one issue?

Most cases can make substantial progress in three sessions, and many behavior problems are addressed in the first session.
